Multi-year deal will see new games supplied
on a regular basis
Online gambling software provider Cryptologic has
announced the signing of a multi-year licensing deal
with
, part of the Virgin Group (and an "Accredited Casino" at Casinomeister).
The
agreement enables Virgin Games to provide at least 10 of
CryptoLogic's top branded and non-branded online slot
games to its customers. The games include comic book
classics and innovative casual slots, with some games
linked into the CryptoLogic jackpot network. These games
will bring a new level of enjoyment and rich content to
players, while giving them a chance to win a jackpot
that has reached over GBP 4 million.
One game,
Bejeweled, is already live on Virgin Games.com (see
previous InfoPowa reports), with more scheduled for
launch in the fourth quarter of 2009 and further
roll-outs planned in the first half of next (2010) year.
The games will be deployed through Gaming
Technology Solutions plc, a CryptoLogic technology
partner, on its GTS Edge platform.
The agreement
is in line with CryptoLogic's build-once-license-often
growth strategy and will generate recurring revenue
based on a share of wagers placed by players, a company
spokesman said.
Simon Burridge, Chief Executive
of Virgin Games, said: "CryptoLogic has a track record
of delivering the industry's most compelling games while
the Virgin brand is widely associated with fun and great
value. Our agreement is sure to be a winning combination
delivering unrivalled enjoyment and potential prizes to
Virgin Games' players."
